That was a heartbreaker, wasn’t it? Kansas State Wildcats quarterback Will Howard was visibly upset after two costly mistakes late in Saturday’s 20-18 loss to the Oklahoma State Cowboys. A fumble returned for a touchdown that killed a drive that may have given K-State back the lead, then an interception to kill the last chance for a Wildcat win.
But Howard — a true freshman who just turned 19 on Sept. 24 — hopefully understands he’s been thrown into a challenging situation and will need some time to find his rhythm at this level.
